A soldier with a torch walked at the front, lighting up the tunnel and allowing the rest to move on.

"Go here!"

As if discerning the direction, Mel shouted loudly to Yan Shao and the others behind him.

With Nakar on his back, Yan Shao followed closely behind the people in front of him, which was also the only choice for him.

The power of the dark elves is something that Yan Shao has seen with his own eyes.

There is no way for such a powerful creature to survive alone in the dark region, let alone a human being who is accustomed to living on the surface. And for Yan Shao, an ordinary citizen from the era of peace, it is almost impossible to survive alone in this world...

So no matter what kind of consideration, Yan Shao could only follow closely behind these people.

Even the blood flowing from Nakar's body behind him had stained the leather armor on Yan Shao's body, making him feel uncomfortable -- although Yan Shao also participated in the battle just now, he was not injured because he had been holding the crossbow in the distance, and his body was relatively clean...

But this time...

Yan Shao's clothes are still in danger after all...

"Forget it, it's more important to have a small life at this time...", thinking in his heart, but Yan Shao still looked at a soldier next to him with some puzzlement. "By the way, why is this Mr. Nakar on my back dressed differently than all of you?"

This is by no means what Yan Shao is most curious about, but it is the only thing Yan Shao can ask at the moment...

Although Yan Shao inherited Yasen's memory, a large part of it was lost, so although he felt that he knew the person on his back, he always couldn't remember the identity of this person

"What's so strange about this..."The soldier who followed closely glanced at Yan Shao. "Lord Nakar is a mage, so of course he can't wear the same armor as we do..."

"Mage?!" Hearing this word, Yan Shao was surprised at first, and then showed a surprised expression, but his footsteps did not stop, but hurriedly asked the question he was most concerned about. "Is Mr. Nakar a mage?"

"That's right, he's the mage of our team, and his status is only below the captain, but now the captain doesn't know what happened, so the status of Lord Nakar is the highest in the team right now...", the soldier glanced at Nakal. "Of course, even if Lord Nakar wants to command, it's impossible now..."

Yan Shao also glanced sideways at Nakar on his back, and looked at it seriously, after all, this was the first mage he had seen, the first living mage.

Seriously, Nakar is not much different from the mage Yan Shao imagined. The physique is thin and weak, and the limbs are also very slender, perhaps because he rarely sees the sun, and his complexion is also very pale, and he looks like a very weak middle-aged uncle. If you give him another pair of gold-wire glasses, even if he is a university professor, I am afraid that some people will believe him.

At the moment, Nakar is in a coma because of his serious injuries, so even if Yan Shao is looking at him with the eyes of an alien, there is no need to worry about provoking him.

But...

"Since he is a military mage, how could he be so seriously injured..."

Even if Yan Shao has just arrived in this world, he knows that this kind of character is generally heavily protected and is the key object of protection. Generally speaking, unless the whole team is dead, the mage should be unscathed...

"No way—" The soldier smiled wryly. "It was our dereliction of duty that we didn't find that these black-skinned monsters were hanging upside down on the top of the tunnel and lay in ambush, and when we passed under them, these blackskins happened to fall on the side of Lord Nakar and the captain, the captain's martial arts are the best in the whole team, and he has a lot of experience, so not only did he escape, but he also killed the enemy who sneaked up, but Lord Nakar was not so lucky..."

As for Nakar, the soldier's words confirmed one thing, that is, the mages of this world are also very vulnerable. They may have some mystical powers, but they are vulnerable enough to...

As long as you are close to the enemy, I am afraid it will be difficult to escape...

Later, the soldier also talked about Manan's black sword, which, unlike the other soldiers, was specially made and made of a special material, which was extremely hard. But because of the material, the long sword is black after it is forged, and it is like a black shadow when it is wielded, which is undoubtedly very advantageous in the dark area where the light is extremely poor, plus Manan's martial arts are very good, so it is also mixed with the nickname of [Black Sword]...

In the long years, with his own strength and the long sword in his hand, Manan has killed many enemies, made a lot of fame in the underground world, and has also survived countless dangers.

But this time...

―――――― Dividing Line――――――

Along the way, Yan Shao and his entourage kept trying to get rid of the dark elves behind them.

But all failed, and by half an hour later, Yan Shao was out of breath, and the rest of the people were only about half of what they set off.

"I'm afraid it won't work if it goes on like this..."Frowning slightly, he glanced at the remnants of the defeated soldiers around him, and Mel said to the soldiers beside him. "While those black skins are killed, let's take a rest..."

"Hmm..." the others nodded, if it was just an ordinary march, it was nothing to them veterans, what really mattered was to fight and retreat, after more than half an hour, they already felt very tired.

For Yan Shao, this break is also needed.

After all, no matter how thin Nakar is, he still weighs a hundred pounds. Carrying such a heavy thing on his back and walking at the speed of a march for more than half an hour was not an easy task for Yan Shao. Although he did not participate in the battle, he was probably as tired as the others.

But instead of sitting on the ground to rest, they just stood in the tunnel. Even Yan Shao was carrying Nakar on his back and standing beside everyone. After all, if the dark elves kill him, I'm afraid there won't be so much time for him to pick up Nakar again...

While the others were still resting, Mel hurriedly walked to the side of the deputy.

"Well, can you determine our location..."

"This—" The deputy's expression was a little ugly, and he didn't even look at the map in his hand. "I'm afraid we've lost our way..."

Perhaps because he also knew how shocking what he said, the deputy's voice was very low, trying to avoid being heard by others.

"What!" Mel couldn't help but be stunned, if it weren't for the current environment, I'm afraid he would have grabbed the collar of his deputy and scolded. "Haven't you been in charge of finding your way!"

"That's what I said," the deputy said with a wry smile. "The problem is that we've been hunted by the Dark Elves, and at first I was able to barely find my way, but then..."

Every time they are chased and killed, they may run the wrong route in a panic.

Once or twice, he can still correct it, and the more times he does, he can only make mistakes. But he also knew what the consequences would be if he was disoriented, so he didn't say it until Mel stepped forward to ask...

After listening to the deputy's words, Mel almost wanted to strangle him to death.

But in the end, he just snatched the map from the deputy's hand and looked at it himself.

After a few moments, Mel had to admit with an ugly expression that they had indeed lost their way, and that it would be difficult for them to find their way home. After all, for humans, there are still many unknown places in this huge underground world that have not yet been explored, and what they have explored so far is only a small part of the dark region.

If it's a small fraction of them, they might still be able to find their way home.

But now...

Mel sighed, this time he didn't even have the strength to scold.

The terrain of the Dark Regions is intricate, and if you lose your way, you may be trapped here. Yes, this is not a desert, and you can find enough food and fresh water. But there are not so many enemies in the desert who want their lives.

However, Mel also knew how serious the news was, so he secretly suppressed the news and kept silent.

A soldier was sitting on the ground resting when he suddenly felt something above his head. When I looked up, I happened to see several dark shadows hanging upside down on the top of the tunnel. The startled soldier opened his mouth to shout a warning, but before he could make a sound, several black shadows had already fallen from above, and one of them happened to land beside him, and the dagger in his hand had slit his throat with a flick of his hand.

Before most of them could react, the shadows had already killed and wounded three soldiers. And after entering the range of the firelight, Yan Shao also clearly recognized the identities of these black shadows...

Dark Elves...

To be exact, three of them are a little embarrassed...

Dark Elves
